So, if Lockheed Martin transferred 2006 Census data to the FBI (say looking for people born in a certain country) how would we ever know?

ACLU's Factsheet on Section 215 of the Patriot Act:

    If you participate in the 2006 Census, you\'re giving your information directly to the Department of Homeland Security.

    Should be referred to as U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T act. It is an acronym for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism".<p> The acronym was chosen so that any dim witted congressman (most didn't read the actual bill) in the midst of the aftermath of September 11, 2001, would see it and say "If I don't vote for this, I don't love my country.."<p> The EFF (www.eff.org) has a large amount of data regarding how this act has crushed the people under big brothers boot, and to date has not been responsible for catching 1 terrorist. George Orwell would both be proud, and a recent Canadian Citizen<p> <p>---<br>"History does nor repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain
